20 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Could Be HUGE Improvements

The Insidious franchise has admittedly been wildly hit-and-miss ever since its inception, though there's a strong consensus that 2023's fifth film, Insidious: The Red Door, was among the weaker entries.

One of the chief complaints was that medium Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) was relegated to a thankless cameo role, despite being by far the franchise's most popular character and basically its real protagonist.

But for the recently confirmed sixth movie, it was confirmed that Lin Shaye will reprise her role as Elise in a leading capacity.

Evidently the filmmakers saw just how disappointed many fans were with Shaye's minimal presence in The Red Door, and so it appears that she'll be front-and-centre once again.

Given that Elise is very much the heart and soul of the Insidious franchise this was the only smart play, even if the sequel has to tie itself in logical knots to explain her continued presence.
